Bagarre

BAGARRE

Noun. Plural pronounced same. L19.

[French]

A tumult; a scuffle, a brawl.

Some people are just too posh and well-to-do to have a common scuffle or vulgar brawl. Once slighted, and on the failure of mere words or a strongly worded letter to bring about satisfaction, there remains the noble bagarre - truly the ruck of the gentry.
